Forever

Think it over carefully Before you become a lover Are you there for the long haul Or are you just going to hover Do you want it all The inner soul and the outer face Are you for real Will you hold out in the race You have to want the good and the bad There can be no reservations A love forever is what is hoped for The one person who will love with no hesitations Our goals are going in the same direction But are you really going to be there in the end Will you love without any holding back Not just a lover but a forever friend

You loved fully and had a good man for many years. There are many who don't experience that in their lifetime. I'm glad you had that mom. I'm also glad to see you in a happy place again. Love ya.

So true I was lucky the second time and not everyone does get the chance as you say. But it proves that God leads us in an amazing journey but we must be there to take the first steps. Happiness is in all of us. We just need to look for it and enjoy Love Mom

Thanks for visiting Anne Lise. Lovers must be friends because without that what do you have the rest of the day? Hugs Edith

I specially love the third stanza mamabear. When you find someone to be your forever friend and not just a lover - hold on to them them are so precious. My internet poetry writing partner Darren Watson calls me his 'forever friend' sadly he is ill and I hope and pray we get back together to write again - I love him dearly as a wonderful friend:-( Hugs Jan x
